• Kendra Blair: Why wasn't the door locked at that time of night?

• Shannon Taylor-Zayas: How scary. I hope they are all okay.

Concerned about courts

The Daily Press Editorial Board has voiced its concern with Hampton courts conducting proceedings behind closed doors. Criminal defendants have the constitutional right to be present at all phases of court proceedings.

In the Newport News school division, 23 elementary schools and four early childhood centers release students two hours early on Wednesdays to give teachers a planning period. Some have advocated for the termination of early dismissal. The Daily Press asked readers in an online poll: Do you think the division should end early dismissal?

• 55 percent (71 responses): Yes. It saves money and provides students with more instructional time, so it's a win-win.
